Astronomers predict the appearance of
the "Star of Bethlehem" again this year
for the sixth time since the birth of Christ
This star is said to appear directly north
of the north star, and to be visible, in its
dazzling light, at MONDAY. 1t is solar
orb, many times the magnitude of our
sun, whose orbit is vet uncalculated by
any astronomer. and is the most marvel
lous of the celestial phenomena.
The Adiutant General of the army has
been at work collecting data as to the
strength of the militia forces of the United
States since the "war talk" began. Gen.
Drum has written to all the Adjutant.
Generals of the States. and the answers
thus far received are very encouraging.
There are now over $4,000 members of
the organized militia, an increase of 49,
900 over previous reports. The reports
concerning available companies which are
not part of the militia, show that they
foot up membership of 1000. 900, nearly
a million more than in previous years
The War Department will, with the APP
preparation tor next year, which is snffi-
GENTLY large For the purpose, provide the
militia with better arms and equipments.

A Word About Sports,

suppose there never was nation,
race or people since first the earth was
made that did not have girls and boys
who not only loved play but did play,
and with a will The Eskimos of the
frozen North, the Tupinambras of the
Brazilian pampas, the gdnains of the
Paris streets, the boys and girls of Lon
don and Boston and New York have
in their nature one kindred tie-the
love of sport. There is nothing new
under the sun, said the wise man, and
especially is there nothing new in youth
full games. Arch@ologists find well-be-
loved dolls in Egyptian pyramids and
on prehistoric tombs; the name of
popular ball club was found scrawled
upon the outer walls of Pompeiian
houses, and one of the most exciting
matches on record was the one stub
bornly fought between the rival mines
of Montezuma, King of Mexico, and
Nezahual-pilli, 'tzin of Tezcuco. The
boys of ancient Greece and Rome
played at whip-top and quoits and base
ball and pitch-penny and blindman's-
buff and hide-and-seek and jack-stones
and follow my leader just as do the
boys of to-day; the girls were experts
at see-saw and swinging and dancing
and grace hoops and dice-throwing and
ball-pay and, in Sparta, even at run
ming, wrestling and leaping. Tobog-
gaming is as old as ice and snow, and
when you play at cherry-pits you are
only doing what Nero and Commodus
and young Themistocles did ages ago
in Rome and Athens. So, whatever
the age or wherever the cline, the boys
and girls of the world have always
lived more for play than anything else,
and however harsh or hard their sur
roundings, however stern or strict their
fathers and their mothers, they always
found and always made the most of the
time for play-and, more than any
other season, the time for summer
sports. These sports to-day are fast
reducing themselves into as many
sciences, overweighted with rules and
restrictions that often take the real
play element from them and make them
as unyielding and sedate as a problem
in algebra. Now, while rules and re-
strictions are undoubtedly necessary
there is such thing as going too far,
and l am inclined to believe that the
boys ana girls prefer 10 loIloW lne cast
iron club-rules " or league-rules y
only to the verge of cast-ironness :"
and make their sport, if less absolute,
at least more jolly. There is no fun in
making our sport matter of life and
death. l know grown people who, in
these days of prize-giving in all manner
of games, center their whole desires
not on the fun of the game, but on the
prizes offered. They really seem as dis
appointed if they do not carry off a
trophy as if they had met with some
serious loss. Let us take our fun with
iolity or not at all. Interest is one
thing and irritability is quite another

Lucky Days.

When May with apple-blossoms
Her loving cup Is brewing,
with beams and dews and winds that get
The honey from the violet,
with hopes on which the heart is set,
oh, then's the time for woong,
For wooing and for suing.
Dear lad, the time for woongl
When August calls the locust
To sound the years undong,
And. like some altar dressed of old
In drapery of cloth of gold,
High pastures thick with bloom unfold,
oh, then's the time for woong,
For wooing and for suing,
Dear lad, the time for wooingl
When brown october pauses,
The ripened woodland viewing,
And all the sunny forests spread
Their fallen leaves, as hearts blood red,
carpet fit for brides to tread
oh, then's the time for wooing
For wooing and for suing,
Dear lad the time for wooingl
oh, listen, happy lover,
Your happy fate pursuing;
When fields are green, when woods are sere,
When storms are white, when stars are clear,
ON each sweet day of each sweet year.
Oh, then's the time for wooing,
For wooing and for suing,
Dear lad, the time for wooingl

SirS-About three months ago, noticing "A
letter addressed to you in the Bee from Gen
eral Slevin, in reference to the cure of his
son by the use of HALLS CATARRH CURE,
we were induced to commence the use of it
for our daughter Nellie, now fourteen years
old, who has been suffering from catarrh
for about eight years, during which time
she has been treated by one of the best
physicians in the city. We have also tried
the use of almost all the known remedies
for catarrh, with no more success than
temporary relief. Many nights have we
laid awake to hold her mouth open to keep
her from stranging, Her hearing had also
become affected. We were afraid that she
six bottles of HALLS CATARRH CURE, and
we believe Nellie to be entirely cured. In
a few days after commencing the use of it
we noticed decided change for the better,
and from that right along she has improved,
until now she breathes as easily as any one,
She sleeps well and her hearing is perfectly
good We feel that the disease is entirely
removed We write this unsolicited letter
feeling that II is due you, and with the hope
that Others may be benefited in like manner,
We can hardly realize that such a change
could be effected in so short a time after
battling with the disease so long. We are
still using the remedy at intervals as it
seems TO build up her system. You are at
liberty TO use this in any manner you see
proper. We are yours truly,

Sensible Advice.

Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke says Amer
lean women don't know how to live.
If they want health, she writes, let
them learn to live in fresh air-open
their windows, wear flannel night-gowns
and take a jug of hot water to bed if
they are cold, but never sleep with
closed windows-and air all their clothes
and their room daily; eat simple,
wholesome food, wear homeless waists
and button their skirts on them, and
take the heels off their boots. Then,
she argues, they will be rosy, happy,
healthy, and comfort to everybody
as well as themselves.

The above lines were suggested by
the following incident: " During one
of the gales of October, 1885, fishing
smack, whose name the papers did not
give, went down off the coast of Labra-
dor. The boats being swamped, moth
ing was left for the men but to swim
for the shore. Among the crew was
boy, some eleven or twelve years old,
who had accompanied his father on the
smack. In order to save his life, the
father dashed the boy upon his back
and set off to swim to land. Finding
that they made very little Roadway, and
that they were both in imminent dan
ger of being drowned, the boy begged
his father to 60 on alone and to " let
him be-" and upon the father refusing,
the boy actually worked himself free
from the rope and would probably have
been drowned had not huge wave at
that moment flung both of them upon
the rocks. Afterward, to a lady, the
boy said, simply: Il thought poor
father was going to be drowned and
what would mother do then, so l got
off his back. - Youths Companion.
